Snow that fell in the Longmont area overnight left roads slick and made for a slow morning commute today. A one-car accident near the intersection of Colo. Highway 119 and County Line Road backed up westbound traffic on 119, and commuters reported that traffic was slowed on the Diagonal between Longmont and Boulder.

As of 7 a.m. today, north Longmont had received about an inch of snow. And by 9 this morning, sunshine was beginning to peek through the clouds. However, another round of light snow is expected to cross the area this evening.

Today's forecast calls for a high near 38 degrees and winds up to 17 mph.

The chance of snow tonight is 20 percent, with the low temperature expected to be around 10. North winds of 8 to 13 mph could gust as high as 17 mph.

Wednesday will be partly sunny and breezy with a high near 42. A south-southwest wind of 7 to 12 mph will become west-northwest 16 to 21 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 31 mph. Wednesday night will be mostly cloudy with a low around 20. West winds will be 15 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 29 mph.

Thursday will be mostly sunny and breezy with a high near 48. Expect west-northwest winds of 16 to 22 mph, with gusts as high as 33 mph.
